From Cinobo, we choose Samuel Theis’ Softie, screened online on the platform as part of the 13th My French Film Festival. In the title role, we see ten-year-old Johnny, who is only interested in the affairs of adults around him. This story is different from other coming-of-age stories as the young protagonist witnesses his mother’s turbulent love life and at the same time the school teacher introduces him to a new, different world. The filmmaker balances between tenderness and a tougher, more dramatic, from a child’s point of view, reality. The film, aimed at young and old viewers, won an award at the Thessaloniki Film Festival and competed at the Cannes Film Festival.

The countdown has begun for new episodes of Apple TV+’s award-winning Ted Lasso series, which follows a kind-hearted American coach who becomes embroiled in the daily life of a British football team. The streaming platform announced that the third cycle will premiere in the spring of 2023, but did not give an exact date when it will appear on our screens. And while the devoted community of Jason Sudeikis-starring comedy fans waits for the story to continue, there are rumors that the finale will follow with it.
